A

emphasizing the effects on health of diet, smoking, exercise, stressful experiences, and other behaviors

27
Q

what is stress

A

nonspecific response of the body to any demand made upon it

28
Q

what is general adaptation syndrome

A

any threat to the body, in addition to its specific effects, activated a generalized response to stress, activity of the adrenal glands

29
Q

What is the HPA axis

A

hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal cortex; activated by stress

30
Q

What is ACTH

A

secreted by anterior pituitary gland, stimulates the human adrenal cortex to secrete cortisol

31
Q

what are leukocytes

A

white blood cells, B cells, T cells, and natural killer cells

32
Q

What are antibodies

A

secreted by B cells, Y-shaped proteins that attach to particular antigens

33
Q

what are cytokines

A

small proteins produced by leukocytes that combat infection, stimulate the vagus nerve and trigger release of prostaglandins

34
Q

What are prostaglandins

A

cross blood-brain barrier and stimulate the hypothalamus to produce fever, sleepiness, lack of energy, lack of appetite and loss of sex drive

35
Q

what is psychoneuroimmunology

A

the study of the relationship between nervous systems control over the immune system, ways experiences alter immune system and how immune system in turn influences the central nervous system

36
Q

what is the progression of the James-Lange Theory of Emotion

A

Cognitive first then action then emotion

37
Q

the limbic system has been regarded as critical for

A

emotion

right hemisphere

41
Q

people were quicker and more accurate at identifying happy faces when it went to the

A

left hemisphere

42
Q

Damage to the prefrontal cortex causes

A

blunted emotion, except for anger and impaired decision making

43
Q

damage to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex

A

inconsistent preferences, less normal concern for others, no nervous tension or guilt

44
Q

Brain damage that impairs emotional feelings and responses also impairs

A

decision making

45
Q

emotion is embodies which means what

what you re doing affects how you are feeling

46
Q

aggression depends on

serotonins main metabolite, in the CSF

49
Q

How do we decrease serotonin turnover

A

social isolation and aggressive behavior

55
Q

Individual differences in anxiety correlate strongly with?
